We rolled into a local nothern Wisconsin comp 11 people deep. They made divisions and weight classes day of. 4 divisions, less than 2 years exp 170 under and 171 over. more than 2 years 170 under, 171 over. All matches were in mma cage, and final were at night as prelims for MT event that night. We were in all four final matches and won 2 of the 4. I won my first match that was actually pretty technical. had good control with the wedge and had the heel hook, but the kid wouldn't tap. don't think he had ever been in a heel hook before. since I was ahead on points I just held him until time ran out rather than bust his knee. No good deed goes unpunished. In my next match a 20 year old wrestler,186 pound beast that actually cut for this, drove his knee through my ribs and seperated ribs from sternum cartledge. Spent afternoon in ER cuase of huge bump sticking out. They didn't even push the bump back into place. Out for 6 weeks. I could write a book on incident, but won't stir the pot. Lets just say, this match represented what I feel is a fundamental wrong with BJJ these days. I did see a whole bunch of positive things come out of this comp, that out weigh the bad. Our team is great and learning and growing well.
